But for my typical rush hour commute, Max was on schedule. <BR/>Yes, I ride max every winter day. You can search my blog for 'rail' if you really want to know how I feel about it. ;-) I have to bow to safety and choose not to ride my motorcyle in the rain/snow etc.Richttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09659557034455079055noreply@blogger.com
